2.1 Clinical Setting
An optimal clinical setting for complex vulvar reconstruction should meet the requirements necessary for inpatient treatment. The facility must be specialized and well equipped, with well-qualied and motivated staff members, because therapy of FGM/C patients needs professionalism, accuracy, and passion. The facility should offer a pleasant examination room with a changing area, so that the patient can feel comfortable. Furthermore, a system to perform standardized photography should be available. Photographs, of course, are especially necessary to document the preop­erative and postoperative status. The ofce-photography arrangement should pro­vide two frontal light units for uniform illumination and a simple homogeneous background for increased contrast and reduced distraction to get photographs in the upright position (Fig.2.1a). An examination chair should also be provided for ofce photography (Fig. 2.1b). Basic viewpoints include frontal (Fig. 2.1c) and back (Fig.2.1d) while standing, as well as frontal with the vulva at rest (Fig.2.1e) as well as the vulva slightly tightened (Fig.2.1f) in the supine position with angled legs or the lithotomy position, respectively. The patient must be informed of and consent to the purpose of medical use of the photographs as well as electronic archiving of the personal data.
The surgeon requires in-depth understanding of anatomy of the female genital, and must be condent with the topography, and techniques of dissection under nor­mal and changed anatomic conditions. The responsible surgeon with the help of a preferable female assistant should almost always perform the examination. In addi­tion, a representative with translational skills or a translator should attend the exam­ination from a separate area or at least attend the nal talk. It should be guaranteed that the patient is overall informed about the prevailing anatomic condition, intended reconstruction, expectable improvement resulting from the operation, need for tem­porary bladder catheterization, postoperative care, delayed restart of sexual activity, temporary incapacity for work, and some more.

2.2 Patient Management
The vulva is a unique anatomic region and has a special signicance for each indi­vidual. Concerning examination, the physician requires both an appropriate han­dling of and empathy for the patient. A profound review of the history is critical. FGM patients frequently do not dare to describe their problems clearly because they culturally used to not complain. On request, however, patients especially describe the occurrence of pain during menstruation, and sexual intercourse, as well as the absence of sexual sensation, and some more. In some patients inspection might be more appropriately performed in the operating room with the patient sedated or asleep. It is self-evident that every examination no matter where must be performed in consent with the patient. As mentioned above it is usually benecial to have a representative accompanying the patient. It is important to nd out what was done before. Interview, inspection, and palpation, therefore, are critical in examining the outer female genital. Inspection leads into an analytic overview of the underlying problem and the necessary reconstructive needs. The examiner gets an impression about the aOAP-ap harvest side at the thigh creases lateral to the vulva, pubic hair important for ap design or adjunctive procedures like epilation, and which parts of the vulva can be included in the reconstructive plan. It’s enormous which informa­tion you get from adherence or sliding capacity of the overlying tissue or a scar to the underlying layers. Palpation of the inferior pubic ramus and the medial border of the obturator foramen half the way from the pubic body to the ischial tuberosity determine the aOAP vessel. Furthermore, palpation of the tissue overlying the sym­physis brings information about the position of the remaining clitoral organ,

existence of a clitoral cyst, or the symmetry pattern of the remaining skin. All the ndings must then be correlated with the operative plan.
Patient management does further include optimizing operative and postoperative conditions. Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation using light magnesium oxide with citric acid and postoperative control of defecation should avoid contamination of the suture lines likewise reducing the risk of infection, wound-healing disorders, or ap lost. In addition, prophylactic antibiotics are administered intravenously on the day of surgery (Table2.1) and up to two days after, followed by oral application for further 5 to 7 days postoperativelydepending on the circumstances; painkillers and deconges­tive medication are applied for 5–8days. In addition, some cases may prot from oral or systemic application of cortisone to reduce inammatory response and swelling.
Especially in obese patients pressure relief at the ap site especially in region of the posterior commissure through angled legs on pillows in the supine position combined with pressure-reduced bedding is benecial for 3–5days until complete ap auton­omy and reliable load capacity should have been achieved. During that time the patient is advised to stay in bed for 2days postoperatively. I use to mobilize my patients out of bed on day 3 after surgery. Beforehand careful physiotherapy is performed in bed without impairing the operative result. The patient is further instructed in the use of the recommended ointments. The latter include an antibiotic ointment for outer suture lines, estrogen ointment for the region of the clitoris and the vaginal introitus, and heparin ointment in case of discoloration caused by supercial hematomas.
2.3 Clinical Management
FGM/C is a sensitive issue and patients are also. Clinical management, therefore, is complex. Once infrastructure is formed and specialized protocols have been well established, clinical management becomes easier. Beforehand, however, education is obligatory. All the staff members and nurses must be profoundly briefed about FGM/C itself. They should know about what generally happened to the patients, what kind of deformities exist, the need and importance of reconstructive surgery, the potential of reconstructive surgery, the advantage of up-to-date reconstructive procedures, and especially the postoperative care necessary to carry the patients to an overall successful result. This also includes empathy for cultural background of the patients. Sometimes FGM/C patients do not only feel satisfaction after surgery, but also undergo ashbacks of their childhood; that means ashbacks of FGM/C.It is therefore important to sensitize employees about possible psychological distress of the patients that should never ever be trivialized. Psychological adjunctive ther­apy therefore is an important option and sometimes necessary, but need to be

decided in the individual case. Confronting each patient with psychological help will not nd generally acceptance and is moreover not necessary. However, psycho­logical help should not be underestimated especially in those patients unspecically searching for help. FGM/C patients nding my ofce usually had had professional or unprofessional psychological support beforehand; it depends individually on whether such support should be continued or not. The will for reconstruction is usu­ally strong in most of my patients, and the postoperative gain of form and function does not usually cause psychological instability but the very opposite.

2.4 Anatomy
All the following anatomic orientations refer to the dorsal lithotomy position and are modeled after standardized descriptions of the female genital. Anterior directs toward the mons pubis, and posterior directs toward the anus. Inferior means directed to the surgeon sitting in front of the patient. Superior directs toward the promontory of the sacrum. Lateral and medial depend on the sagittal plane, which divides the pelvic bone into halvesin the superior-inferior view.
Anatomic descriptions given in the following are oriented toward the reconstruc­tive needs and do not intend to give an overall overview of the female genital and bordering regions. Generally, the region anterior to the anus bordered by inferior rami of the pubic bones and the symphysis is called the urogenital region. Within that region the pudendal region comprises the outer female genital. The region below the urogenital region is called the anal region. The connecting region between the urogenital region and the anal region is called the perineum [1].
2.4.1 Region oftheClitoris
Personal anatomic dissections are highly recommended to train and improve the own surgical understanding and skills. Especially altered topographic conditions forced by former interventions such as genital mutilations assume that the surgeon is condent with the regular anatomy (Fig.2.2). Besides morphologic conditions knowledge of vascular anatomy is imperative (Fig.2.2b).
Anatomy of the clitoris is complex [2]. Interactive sexual function of the clitoral region including the clitoral organ (crura, body, glans), bulbs, distal urethra, and inferior vagina seems to be till date somewhat unclear [3, 4, 5]. The whole region seems to be in sum responsible for sexual function and orgasm [3]. The clitoral organ consists of an inner hidden and an outer visible part. The inner part is formed by the clitoral crura whereas the clitoral body terminated by the clitoral glans forms the outer part. The crura run parallel to the ischiopubic ramus while further advanc­ing to the pubic symphysis to merge into the clitoral body [4, 5]. The clitoral crura thereby are geniculately curved and change their upward direction into a downward course of the clitoral bodies (Fig.2.3a–f). The clitoral bodies are xed to the sym­physis by the suspensory ligament consisting of a supercial and a deep part [3, 6]. Due to their retraction force, both components of the suspensory ligament must be

cut to the bone when mobilizing the retracted and straightened clitoral bodies dur­ing reconstruction (Fig.2.3c, d). The clitoral bodies coalesce and terminate in the clitoral glans (Fig.2.3b). That’s why the clitoral bodies are almost always involved within the ritual of clitoral cutting.
In the normally congured, unimpaired vulva (Fig.2.4) the clitoral prepuce cov­ers both the visible part of the clitoris that means the clitoral glans and the upper invisible part that means the clitoral bodies. The posterior prepuce covering the clitoral glans thereby forms a hood, whereas the anterior part forms an anteriorly fading wall. The lower part of the prepuce merges into the minor labia, called “roots of the minor labias” (frenulum clitoridis). The split roots of the minor labias border the clitoral tip. The hoof-shaped space between the prepuce and the clitoral glans is called the coronary sulcus of the glans [1].
The pudendal plexus, originating from the second to fourth sacral segment of the spinal cord, is responsible for sensory supply of the clitoris [3, 5]. Branches course through the infrapiriform foramen directed to the symphysis. In region of the sym­physis they form the dorsal clitoral branches innervating both the clitoral body and the clitoral glans (Fig.2.3f). They travel along the upper surface of the clitoral body in the 11 and 1 o’clock positions [4] to nally enter the clitoral glans [3]. Within the glans both nerves spread into their terminal branches.
In FGM/C patients stumps of the clitoral nerves anking the stump of the clitoral bodies need to be neurolysed microsurgically to make them eligible for successful reinnervation of the newly formed clitoral tip. That means that they need to be cut on a level showing healthy normally structured tissue. Detected neuromas, brous tissue, and scars must be excised.

2.4.2 Region oftheMinor andMajor Labias
Normal anatomy of the vulva is complex and unique (Fig.2.4). The usually bulgy major labias border the pudendal column (rima pudenda), start at the anterior com­missure, and end at the posterior commissure localized at the anterior border of the perineum. They contain fatty tissue traversed by a loose network of connective tis­sue bands. They show all over sebaceous as well as sweat glands and hair growth as part of the pubic hair. Between the major and the minor labias the interlabial sulcus is formed fading at the anterior and posterior commissure [1].
The minor labias run from the clitoral frenulum downward and mostly disappear on the level of the lower third of the anking major labias or end within the frenu­lum labiorum pudendi at the posterior commissure. Due to the lacking fat layer, the minor labias are very narrow, lled with connective tissue showing sebaceous glands, and a rich vasculature including numerous veins. They do clearly vary in size and texture [7]. The opening between the minor labias is known as the vesti­bule. Within the vestibule and below the clitoral tip opens the external orice of the urethra. Further posteriorly and dorsally follows the hymen traversing the vaginal introitus. The bulbi vestibuli are located both sides to the vaginal introitus covered by the bulbo-cavernosi muscle (Fig.2.5). The bulbo-cavernosi muscle therefore
